>Newfags just now discovering this kino masterpiece
Ignoring all of your builds lmao

>>96047950
Same with Xen. Why are they now all of a sudden pretending it’s new?

>>96047961
Because theyre newfags thats why lmao

>>96047950
>>96047961
>>96047976
Why gatekeep?

Looking for a cyoa. It has cybernetics, magic, demons, and demonic transformation. The setting is a sort of post apocalypse with walled (or was it domed?) cities. You pick between a few locations and they have schools with classes to pick from. There is IIRC 3 pages, each not long, and blue or white text on a black background. There is companions.

>>96047998
Probably multiplayer slop

>>96047950
>>96047961
That's a good thing thobeits. Or would you rather have another danmachi meltdown?

>>96047989
Not gatekeeping just pointing out that you fags always ignored that author until now

>>96047961
>Same with Xen. Why are they now all of a sudden pretending it’s new?
it go updated retard

>>96048011
Barely LMAO

>>96047950
Post your old build so I can compare it with mine. I promise I won't laugh if its bad.

>>96048011
It didn’t really get changed, much.

>>96047879
Post the dark magic wip as well. In fact you should also add it to imagechest like the year 2 snippet.

>>96047989
Without gatekeeping you get newfags thinking they belong. No community can survive welcoming newfags.

>>96047950
>assuming it's not oldfags reacquainting themselves with something fondly remembered they've forgotten the details of
What a pathetically bitter shit you are. >>96047989 in any case.

>>96048060
A lack of gatekeeping is what killed the tabletop hobby. It’s going to extend to our niche eventually. Why do you think there are so many Redditors here?

>>96047886
>I'm looking forward for but luminary and the next version of pick a goddess.
What? You're not looking forward Luminary but the next version of Picking A Goddess?

>>96048044
Lmao, without newfags this place would have long become deserted.

>>96048068
Don't give a shit. I'm gonna enjoy what I like no matter how much you seethe. In fact, just to give you something more to cry over think I'll make another build.

>>96048068
Its a fucking imagination game general, stop being such a whinefag and let people dream in peace.

>>96048039
It's not a wip, but entirely replaced, obsolete.

>>96048117
hahahah, guess who's shoving that vapid shit into a thread that has nothing to do with it right here right now? It's (you) you fucking mouthbreather.

I am going insane

>>96048138
No you’re just frustrated.

>>96048135
Damn he really hit too close to home with that didn't he. This anon knows he'd get filtered lmao.

>>96048130
Post it anyway, it gives an idea of how magic and spells are supposed to progress in the cyoa. Plus it shuts up waterfags so its a win-win.

>>96048146
And yet here I am so seethe harder. Or spam garbage you claim to hate like >>96048117 despite it only being here because of a hissy-fit.

>>96048117
Is that pic supposed to prove a point? Its just a shitty bait that's regularly regurgitated around this board.

>>96048117
Aren’t Beholders supposed to be evil?

why do you keep repeating this easily provable lie? are you really this desperate for some (You)s?

>>96048194
Yeah and they need to stop with those

That’s a racist stereotype. Be better.

>>96048224
Beholders aren’t gay.

The beholder is actually psychically raping those people into acting like a bunch of fags

Terrifying

>>96048245
Damn, they really made a Beholder with a homo beam. Better hope your barbarian doesn’t get hit.

>>96048264
Yeah imagine if some magical being could go around saying “you’re gay, you’re gay, YOU’RE gay, you’re also gay, damn you’re already hella gay, you’re not gay enough!”. Real horror there.

>>96048273
Imagine giving casters that ability in a cyoa haha wouldnt that be funny haha

>>96048273
At that point, just kill me and turn my corpse into an undead puppet with my wailing soul still trapped inside. Far better than becoming a faggot or tranny.

>>96048108
Bro you don't even know what boomers are lol.
30-40 are millennials.
Zoomers are like a couple years away from also being 30.

What's the best Arokino?

If you were an ambitious warlord hell-bent on conquering a newfound magic-rich dimension for whatever reason, what would be your weapon of choice? Assuming that latent mana-static prevents most applications of modern munitions. Personally, I'd go for a greatclub, it's heavy-hitting and effective against most types of armour, yet primal and intimidating. At the same time, I'd be tempted to carry a contraption that's less of a conventional crossbow and more of a handheld ballista. I figure it's best to go all-in on specializing with a weapon than to spread your time spent training.

>>96048339
From a personal stand point her super villain CYOA is my favorite.

>>96048335
Wow. You're such a newfag you don't even know the 30yo boomer meme. Get the fuck out of my general.

>>96048339

>>96048372
Nexus Gateway had an interesting spread of dimensions, and minions and companions that sadly fell short of it. I'd like to see Aro's take on a planar atlas, of sorts.

>>96048391
not me, that was my first post in this thread

>>96048365
Face it, if you're 30+ you're a wasting boomer. You're no longer efficient. Move aside, old man.

>>96048372
Garbage

This general is so shit. It's almost impressive actually.

>>96048343
Just make gun-shaped wands with modern optics, less training needed for the troops to switch over.

How would be a cool way to implement elemental magic let's say pyromancy without simply making it so the more powerful you are in it the larger the volume of fire you can control/create?
I want to create 6 powers in 3 levels of power with different effects.
The system is that you buy each level of power and get both powers instead of buying them individually.

>>96048448
just make expendable wands in the shape of bullets

>>96048457
well if you just want it to be physical pyrokinesis there isn't much, you go denser, more precise, or wider ranged

if you go for magic you can also have added profundity via symbolism and other sorts of conceptual magic related to fire, but in my experience the elementalism retards don't like that because they just want to copy video game magic

>>96048446
We have a reputation to uphold.

>>96048477
Oh sure I'll have things like "burning" your body gradually injuring yourself to gain an immense buff to all your physical attributes or to burn and consume the souls of others for energy and healing.
But for I wanted to compartmentalize them in different "trees" one for straightfoward fire manipulation and others for more esoteric fire related powers.
For example one level one power that could work at the lowest level could be to sense fire that then can be upgraded to sense all sources of heat(all powers will have a tier and be upgradable by themselves).
Maybe the other could be control over flames that gets upgraded to becoming immune to fire and heat and then in the second level you actually gain the ability to generate flames from nothing and upgrade them to make them eternal.

Wait a minute there is a Light Overlord cyoa now? What about the update for the Dark Overlord one we were waiting for? Is it out?

>>96048402
lol, lmao, even.

>>96048343
Sword. Swords are cool.

>>96048558
>Wait a minute there is a Light Overlord cyoa now?
It's a WIP.

>What about the update for the Dark Overlord one we were waiting for? Is it out?
It's a WIP.

How about this power balance?
You can pay points to become strong enough to throw giant boulders around and pulverize stone but it is expensive.
One waifu has a power similar that allows her to reach the same level of strength much more cheaply in terms of points but it slowly drains away like the 8 gates or can also go even further for explosive demonstrations of power even beyond this but it deals her injuries impossible to heal with magic?

>>96048477
>video game magic
I could go on an autistic rant over this. These "people" are retards.

The elements were never meant to classify crude matter, but an attempt to make metaphysical phenomena/forces/energies easier to understand by comparing them to similar physical equivalents. Which is valid. After all, "as above, so below," you can learn about one part of the universe by observing others.

It all went downhill from there, until we got
>hurr durr fier majik
despite the whole idea of a human being exclusively using the fire element being about as retarded as building cars solely from aluminium (fuel included).

>>96047879
>Dark Tunnel, Isatum, Djinn (cultists), Dragis (save)
Fairly standard story of "any ship in a storm until the disillusionment kicks in".
>Fine Food, Tavern (inner circle), Bronze Knife, Clothing
Only needed to shell out for nutritious food and a less stabby dwelling after the Dragis debacle. With Clothing and Knife I blend in with most locals.
>Cult Clothes x2, Staff
The respect afforded to the Cult ensures that when I need to I can arrive robed up and crackling with magic to make any threats go further.
>Lesser Spark, Shadow Magic, Hypnosis
A little Hypnosis cows complaint...
>Abyss, Null, Charisma 5 (voice)
...allowing my to waltz by on "important cult business" with an Abyss-full of smuggled contraband which will be Null all too soon.
>File (specialisation)
Sometimes information is the commodity of greatest value, can't actually read the damn thing yet but the Cobalt Tome technically lies within me. Perhaps I'll even return to the Ziggurat and absorb as much of the Cult's library as I can. That at least is legible to me.
>Blue Gift (full spark), Masculine, Race
Or not. For where others see downfall in the downpour I see opportunity. Leaving one tavern while transferring my lease to another only to "arrive" in the guise of an entirely new (albeit obviously mutant) identity grants me a fresh start of sorts. No more passing for regular Cultist but with subtler use of Hypnosis and ever-refined Charisma I'll eventually not need that particular crutch.

>>96048662
I blame Final Fantasy.

>>96048639
That sounds good Husanon. I hope the muses keep tugging at your soul.

>>96048662

It was really quite satisfying

Air = gases
Water = liquids
Earth = solids
Fire = plasma

Meanwhile the elements in Asia were more cyclic.

>>96048689
they had no concept of plasma back then

>>96048705
Doesn't matter. It's still a precursor to the states of matter. Archimedes predicted calculus thousands of years before Isaac Newton. The father of the atom was an ancient Greek, too. People came to surprisingly modern-ish takes, even in antiquity.

>>96048665
The blue gift is exclusive to the exotic body.

>>96048762
My mistake, I can get by with some other cosmetic shift and instead further focus on impersonation.

Wait a minute, hyper autistic about random bullshit, incredibly overinflated sense of self importance, loves archimedes, probably hates the jews because he's on 4chan and weird philisophical views. Is physicsfag the New Calculus guy?

Borderworlds, easily. I generally cannot stand Aromage's work for being repetitive and artificial: for someone obsessed with gods and demigods you'd think they'd be less shit at making their powers feel so vague and unsatisfying and pointlessly OP. I remember thinking their work felt like it was made by AI for how generic it is, honestly in my lifetime we probably will see AI CYOA and it'll probably be pretty close.

But Borderworlds is just a solid 7/10 CYOA with a good premise and a good power level and good presentation all round. It's fucking weird.

All the waifus have human forms pic related is an example of one the oldest that managed to stay sane.

Cope.
You couldn't take any more humiliation, so you ran away with your tail between your legs.

>>96050047
Ahh ok ok still I want to give something to everyone except like people that like futa and stuff like that.

>>96050200
Awesome. I dislike futa, it seems to fundamentally be faggotry that isn't honest about itself. Muscular amazonians? Sure, it's not my thing but whatever, but futa? The only difference between that and a normal woman being the penis, and the heightened state of attraction is contingent on the penis? That's just faggotry. Some anons disagree persistently, but that's okay, the reality of the situation is unchanged.

>>96050258
i kinda like futa actually, not just because its a female with a dick, but morely cause i like the idea of hermaphrodites, and wonder what the world would be like if we had those instead of seperate genders

>>96050258
>I dislike futa, it seems to fundamentally be faggotry that isn't honest about itself.

>>96047862 (OP)
Restructured my build. I figured that obtaining the Drowning Scroll *after*, not during, the Shadow Mass Ejection makes more sense. I also explained my choice of first spell to learn and tentatively planned my development in year 2. Lastly, I used https://image-upscaling.net/imageupscaling/ to upscale my image, to amazing results.

I learn Cleansing Spring first to combine it with Healing Spring to make my body pure and woundless as soon as possible. This has all around physical benefits, enhancing everything from strength to lifespan. While the effects may seem negligible at first glance, the real boon reveals itself in the long term. The accumulation of impurities and wounds throughout one's life slowly but surely destroys one's body. A pure and woundless body allows one to always maintain perfect health while others degenerate after their prime.

In ~order: master Magic Scholarship (+Logic), get a beam staff or bolt wand, increase Constitution to 5, learn Container, Mimic and Skate, increase Agility to 5 and learn Acrobatics, specialize in Container, specialize in Spray.

Embrace Eternity

We build a mage tower, lay hidden magic arrays everywhere around it, and wait for dragons to come attack us. Most dragons will ignorantly and arrogantly approach our mage tower and get blasted to pieces in an instant.

Of the three targets, I expect Piadrierrot to come attack me first since he's the fastest dragon (the sleeping Bahamaut is not counted) due to his magical prowess. His overconfidence will be the end of him as he swaggers into my deathtrap despite detecting the insane number of arrays.

Chivnoa will likely be the second target to arrive. She is not a mage, so she won't even know how she died as her surroundings suddenly burst with thousands of spells.

Nirsynet is more troublesome. He will detect the arrays, not enter in range, and flee. No matter. With the loot from Piadrierrot and Chivnoa, we will grow powerful enough to dismantle his preparations and kill him head on. The only problem is if he hides instead of turtling up in Draconia. That would force us to learn divination magic to find him.

As for Bahamaut, "it would take a truly tremendous force to even wake him", which means we are free to layer thousands of the highest destructive power magic arrays on him and detonate them all at once for an instant kill.

>>96051663
and then for the first one it turns out you didnt have anywhere near enough arrays and just pissed the dragon off kek

>>96051663
wait a minute, there isnt even array magic in here, its all just elemental manipulation shit and dragon born thuum, how the heck do you intend to kill dragons now seeing as theres no way to store magic in arrays anymore

>>96051756
If magic arrays aren't a thing, just replace all mention of them with magical cannons and other items. Same result, different methods.

>>96051710
If the combined might and resources of 4 of the most powerful mages can't build anywhere near enough arrays to beat Piadrierrot who waltzes right into the trap, then there's nothing else to do other than shrug and say "guess I'll die". He deserves to win at that point.

>>96047998
>Looking for a cyoa. It has cybernetics, magic, demons, and demonic transformation. The setting is a sort of post apocalypse with walled (or was it domed?) cities. You pick between a few locations and they have schools with classes to pick from. There is IIRC 3 pages, each not long, and blue or white text on a black background. There is companions.
If it's the cyoa I'm think of, it doesn't have an official name, but it's often called Admissions Application.

>>96048339
totem war. points matter, you really have to decide what you want to specialize in and can't just take every single greater power like in demigod with little repercussion. short and sweet, too.

What was the name of the pdf cyoa inspired by Tok's Magic: the Awakening? Where (you) accidentally merge with s planeswalker who may (or may not) be in debt with up to three demonic entities?

It hurts bro. .

I was hoping an update would come so I could better refine my 'gotta go fast/Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger' self buffing human build.

>>96050883
Probably not but I can't get the Spark otherwise and really wanted to leverage the Cobalt Tome to greatest effect. Fact is that no amount of face-changing and Mind magic can fool the scorned god so I'm as cautious as I can be when aping Cult membership. I can cow nobodies but am boing nowhere near the Ziggurat or other places of interest to the Fiery Eye.

>>96053280
I feel like giving away the cobalt tome for a measly tier 1 spell access is a waste. The cobalt blade description hints at a much greater value if you unlock its secrets.

Indeed but the rest of the cyoa doesn't exist and I'm after using using File to replicate its contents as best I can for later perusal. If the training for it doesn't fit within the timeframe of travelling with Dragis then I'll just assume that we can develop a fruitful enough relationship for me to peruse the book long enough to commit it to memory (and then become literate to interpret it).

I won't pretend this is the optimal build but mostly I wanted to avoid retreading any of the others.

>>96056454
The coomer subhuman species (Homo Goonus) is said to have evolved (or devolved?) to not experience post-nut clarity. Therefore they can never reach a pure state of higher thought like normal homo sapiens, thus they are cursed with the sad fate of always being perpetual drooling retards.

I'm not so sure bro.
Between the hedonists, the various lolcows, the psychopath killing every anon in multiplayers, the delusional waifufags, the chaosfags, the physics/cat dyad, Tok, Softie - can we really pretend women are somehow higher on the eldritch scale?

>>96056670

Sounds like cope

>>96056517
Who knows? I don't think they "deserve" it, because some of them are literally just highschoolers or similar young powerless women. What could they do?
I could not get 1 million year prison sentence, I literally can't. Because I lack the means to do that. You would need to kill an untold number of people, and several of them are pacifists or totally harmless.

So just guess they stole a candy and got that sentence. Nothing more. The only question is who are the best to breed

Entropist, Isekai Dark Lord, Rise of the Dark Lord - you can find find at least one build who's not "really evil", just their for the style, or to escape moral responsability while indulging in carnal pleasures.

It's strange that Loneliest Number specifies that there will never be any incredible technologies, when none of the other options suggest anything about the possibility of incredible technologies either. I guess the implication is that if you don't pick loneliest number, they WILL develop eventually?

I'd like to operate a radio tower or similar one of these days. Come to think of it, isn't it interesting how podcasts are the same thing as radio shows, just through a different technological medium? Much like how escapism has gone from red clay dabbed onto cave walls to the intricate, multi-layered CYOAs authors have been generous enough to give the /cyoag/ thread. With how rapid technology is advancing, I hope I'll live to see many hundreds of more works, and contribute some of my own.

You're broadcasting something, acting like anyone is listening to what you give, but sometimes there is no way to know. Or it's the extreme inverse, and you have a large following. How are you supposed to remain casual with so many ears tuned to your existence?

Doubtful. Even assume they're somehow cursed with lesser cognition than the average guy, they still need the relevant parts to experience arousal, one-sided crushes, delusions and the indignation when called out.

>>96058675
NTA but that is a lie.
Waifuchads enjoy nuanced, interesting and detailed character exploration.
WHile gattos enjoy what?
To eat their own vomit off the carpet?

>>96058641
I think of it as akin to an imageboard post. On the surface, there's just no possible way to know how many people have seen your post, or in what ways it has or hasn't resonated with them, and that is the beauty of it. A radio operator is pouring his soul out to the void, whether it listens back or not. The audience doesn't matter, only the content, and the certainty that it'll drive at least a few listeners closer to their own contentment. Even if only for a moment. It's dancing without a stage, painting without an easel, the craft of speech divorced of pretense, harnessed for its own sake. Every extra ear tuning in is just another bonus. That's how I think of it, anyway.

>>96058718
>Waifuchads enjoy nuanced, interesting and detailed character exploration.
utter bullshit, waifufags will eat up a literal turd as long as it has a picture of an anime girl slapped on it.

>>96058742
Literally most of the discussion regarding waifus comes from their characterization.

>>96058741
It's certainly less bleak than perpetual doubt about being heard or not.

>>96058718
I'm not sure that's really an argument in their favor. Waifuposters tend to focus on characters at the cost of everything else. That's not really the proof of higher thinking.

>>96058713
Replies alone aren't sufficient to prove that they have feelings or brain activity, they could be bots designed to shit up cyoag threads with low quality content.

>>96058760
is there another /cyoag/ out there that I'm not aware of? because 99% of waifufag discussion here can be summarised by "mmm [insert fetish here]". Don't believe me?
Here's the evidence from this very same thread:
>>96050557
>>96050600
>>96050846

>>96058824
A funny thought, but then you'd have to explain why someone would waste time and energy on designing those bots.
Likewise, a bot would have pattern recognition and machine learning. Since they're still a laughing stock AND they keep screaming about the same monstergirls and assorted types of girls ad infinitum, I can't associate them with machines.

>>96058789
I dunno everyone has different aspects they enjoy the most.
Some like waifus others powers.
It's a matter of taste.

>>96058828
Sure people also enjoy that the waifus will look certain ways.
But they also delve into their personalities I have seen anons that like a waifus looks but hate her personality and vice versa.

>>96058828
oy, fate medusa isnt a fetish, the snake hair and petrification is, but even without that i like medusa on a personal level, and also sympathize with how she basically had her home invaded and her head chopped off while asleep

>>96058906
>I have seen anons that like a waifus looks but hate her personality and vice versa.
Funny you say that, because when I see waifufags arguing about a waifu's "personality" its almost always because they hate the fact she's not a 1 dimensional sex slave or isn't a virgin.

>>96058828
Technically, if I'm in it for the fetish, but really delve into the character to avoid this particular accusation in the thread, doesn't it loop back to being there for the characterization? Just pondering at the possible mental gymnastics.

>>96058947
>they hate the fact she's not a 1 dimensional sex slave or isn't a virgin.
I always found that particular fear strange. Well, if you're scared of being abandonned IRL, it could be explained somewhat, but it's your fantasy. Whatever previous relationships she had are just background noises, and unless you will it into existence, she will not leave you.
Why are they so adamant at preventing a defeat that's supposed to be impossible?

What's more important to you? Following the Methods of Rationality like an SBer, or having fun with the cyoa?

>>96058464
>Has there been a build that lowers the relevance of mechs as much as possible?
Can't think of one, but it's not hard to see how to do.

1. Pick the Power Armor size - so that they're still very much stuck in infantry combat (and thus not "special"). Or Skyscraper, where they basically just stand around waiting to serve as.finishing moves.

2. Get psionics, magic, or both. That way the mecha are just one more battlefield innovation

3. Pick Yuna Item for the same reason, and do her mission. Now there are.killer AIs on the battlefield, too.

4. Take the Operation Deep Strike mission, where you steal Eternal Arms's blueprints. That way no side has a big tech advantage.

5. Spend heavy on multiple bases, so you have as much infantry as possible. Also considsr spending big on magic/psi facilities, or other non-mech boosting facilities.

6. Take the gremlin/no mech personal drawback.

7. Take companions like Isabelle (leader of the Valkyrie anti-mech force), the various Drivers and Infantry.

8. Don't take Yulie or Jasmine (both R&D girls) or any of the Pilots. And don't take the Takeshi plot line. They all shift the focus back to the mecha.

9. Avoid missions where you have to go against mecha.

10. Don't ally with the Technic Union.

That leaves a lot of options to play with, like being guerilla fighters, spies, conventional mercs with standard weapons, or a merc group specializing in one of the "rival" advances (psi, magic, AI . . .)

Not necessarily how I would do it, but definitely a viable path forward

>>96059028
What would Lord PhysicsChad think...The Methods of Rationality, of course. There is nothing quite like destroying every single speck of wonder until everything is as cold and sterile as my kitchen.
Although if I have to use made-up rules, I prefer the fifty-seven precepts of Zote.

>>96059028
How do (You) have fun with a CYOA?

>>96059028

>>96058828
>there another /cyoag/ out there that I'm not aware of?
I think all of the "chan" websites have one, reddit has a subreddit, and there's also the one here in the /trash thread. However, most are either drastically slower, even more sex-obsessed, or lacking in conversation.

If you're not enjoying the thread, try posting some cyoas. The conversation gets weird when we run short of things to look at.

What would happen if Physicsfag and Tok gained equal godlike reality warping powers at the same time? How would our world look like? And which side would you join? the degenerate but generous Tok? or the competent but tyrannical Physicsfag?

Vaguely CYOA-related 'optimization' type question:

Suppose the CYOA gods give you the chance to enter a new world, where you will enjoy some kind of guaranteed immortality.

But before you enter, you have the opportunity to spend time in a "learning to learn" training in an otherwise-empty pocket dimension. For every year you spend in training, you will acquire all other skills and abilities 10% faster once you enter the actual world. There is no limit to this; spend a decade and you learn 100% faster, a century 1000% faster, etc. The time in training is not painful or even arduous, just rather boring.

How long do you spend in this training, if you take advantage of it at all?

I think it's an interesting one because in a sense, it just comes down to how much you privilege the ''now" over the future. In theory, spending more time doesn't cost you anything (considered over the full span of your infinite life), and provides you with additional benefit. But fully endorsing that perspective would lead to you spending an infinite amount of time in limbo without actually beginning your adventure.

I would eat popcorn while Mechas and Dragons fight in the nearby street for about five minutes, then I close my blinds and return to posting CYOAs.

>>96059119
I might chafe under the dictates of Physicsfag but it's a better existence than living through the horrors of Tok

>>96059138
It depends on the size and depth of the new world. If we get immortality in the new world, the learning speed is mostly flavor, as you have the time to learn said skill the normal way. Also, I don't want to have a 1000% learning rate and feel bored after my first 50 years.
A decade sounds nice. 100% rate, so 2x speed. More than enough time to reflect on why I'm doing this at all, but not enough to lose grasp on humanity.

>>96059145
You have to choos a side.

>>96059119
I think Tok would beat Physicsfag for the simple fact physicsfag would be the type of autistic god with a worldview so narrow it diminishes his abilities, making him easy to trick. He would also probably go insane trying to "logically" justify how his godly powers work.

>>96058947
There is a degree of nuance to make successful waifus you do need an appealing hook then you develop the character beyond that initial hook.
For example let's say you are isekaied alongside a girl she will be one of the waifu options.
Out of the bat you have lots of interesting possibilities for her.
I decided to make her a foil for another character in the setting.
We define her motivations
>To find a way to return to earth
>To help others like herself and (You)
Then we give her personality traits that fit.
>Melancholic she sees the past as better than the present and sees herself as having failed to protect her family
>She has a sense of camaraderie towards you as you both come from earth
>She holds modern morals conceptions so sees the new world as mad having a difficult time adapting to it but being smart enough to know to keep her head down and only voice her thoughts with you.
She is interesting and has several ways that her story can develop maybe you help her adapt and channel her sense of justice to help you improve things here or you can help her find a way back home.
So you have the hook of a cute girl that will likely depend on you and has trust in you that has motivations and a personality.

>>96059186
Not really. The question asked which side I WOULD join, not which side I HAVE TO join. There is no point indulging this narrative any further as both godheads are retarded by nature and Earth is lost.

>>96059200
NTA but at the core it's still a waifu that throw herself in your arms. The simple fact her conception start with "one of the waifu options" inform everything else. Now, you can craft a good character out of it, even if CYOAs rarely have them, but it won't stop detractors.

>>96059200
Way too much effort. Here's what waifufags really want:
>sexy anime girl pic (mandatory)
>virgin (mandatory)
>good at sex (mandatory)
>female (optional)
>personality (optional)

>>96059138
As much as I can before any real psychological damage happens, which I have some doubt about whether there would be any, for me at least. People are afraid of boredom, but in my opinion, there is nothing more interesting and wonderful than learning and becoming more powerful. Plus, one must take advantage of the situation to grow as much as possible; immortality doesn't mean invincibility. You don't want your eternal life cut short, do you?

>>96058475
>>Takeshi P. Rotagonist
>A loyal friend of Anon E. Mous. The joke still make me laugh to this day.
No offense to Takeshi, but I'm the protagonist of this story. I don't mind bailing him out if necessary, but I'm not making a build where my primary goal is to make someone else the great war hero of the war.

There's room for others to be great war heroes, too. But I'm not ready to be the elderly mentor yet. :)

>>96059262

>>96059269

>>96059257
All I'm saying is that you can have all that as part of the hook what then makes the waifu good is developing things outside of those basic traits.

>>96059256
Oh sure simply having a "waifu" section grinds the gears of some people but you can't make everyone happy anyways so it shouldn't worry you too much.

>>96059322
You're conflating companions and waifus. They're not built the same way.

>>96059339
What is the distinction?

>>96059119
I don't like Physicsfag, but I'd infinitely prefer him to be god-tyrant than Tok. Physicsfag would render reality a boring hard sci-fi setting where everyone agrees about how rational, materialistic, and prosperous they are without "delusional escapism" weighing them down. Tok would go through the /d/ archives and apply that to continents of innocent people, in perpetuity.

>>96059274

>>96059359

>>96059352
counterpoint: Tok could make you a dragon if you ask nicely.

>>96059408
I would make you a dragon and >>96059352 would get turned into a big tited redhead nympho bimbo with enormous cock sucking lips, pic realted

In retrospect, it's my fault for dedicating braincells to something Tok related. Thanks for reminding me there is nothing worth imagining there;

>>96059617
technically it could be worse

>>96059606
At one point you were talking about maybe turning your Ultimate God build into the basis for a new cyoa. It's been a while, but I believe you had Infinity and Eternity acting as surrogate big brothers to a goddess of Heart. Something in that vein.

>That leaves a lot of options to play with, like being guerilla fighters, spies, conventional mercs with standard weapons, or a merc group specializing in one of the "rival" advances (psi, magic, AI . . .)
Actually, that sounds like it could be fun. Might have to do a wizard (real or psi) build tonight. Shame EternalAnon didn't give us psi/magic companions, or allow us to sacrifice some of our mecha for more points.

>>96059642
I have no memory of this, my next CYOA will be Hentai Heroine which is a lewd isekai CYOA about being summoned to another world but instead of getting op cheat skills like all the other summoned heroes you get the lewdest most degenerate and humiliating slut skills you can imagine and the summoners who wasted precious magical crystals to summon you will be pissed off since you will be the equivilent to the worst possible gatcha pull you can imagine tho as weak and pathetic you are you can still go on low tier adventures like fighting goblins and that is what they will force you to do even if you get raped and humiliated along the way but first I need to finish paining my Warhammer dragon army

At least aro is based, the other two are cancer.

>>96059693
Umm . . .why? Anonekama has been barking up the misery-porn tree for years, and rarely get builds. If memory serves, you haven't had much luck with it, either.

Why not play to your strengths? You do power fantasy well, you do maledom well, and you've got a knack for PvP. Why not make the player the summoner, and have them try to wreak havoc with succubi and bimbofied isekai characters? Sort of Mindslaver meets Nemesis.

>>96059119
Physicsfag is even more subhuman than Tok, so I'd just join Tok and hope he's generous enough to not force that degenerate shit on me, or at least do it in some semi-reasonable capacity.

Look at his Messed Up Waifu CYOA for example, some of those options are so garbage I'd sooner kill myself than accept a woman like that, but there's a bunch of others that are pretty okay. That's true for certain other Tok CYOAs as well, all of them don't force abject degeneracy down your throat, many just reward of encourage it, while others have a very minimal amount (Overpowered Isekai).

Meanwhile, Physicsfag clearly demonstrates a need to force his retardation on others, while failing to be even mildly entertaining and producing absolutely nothing of value.

>>96047879
The stat system in this cyoa confuses me. First of all how does getting isekai'd makes someone dumber? or uglier? or less empathetic? Second why doesn't the player recover even after spending a year in this world? Third the cyoa barely tells anything about how the stats work in the first place. Like how big of a difference does 1 point make? and how big of gap is between 5, 10, 15 and 20? what's the human baseline in this world? and where does peak human end you start being considered superhuman?

I like boring improvements. I think I'd put 100 years into it, then see how I felt about doing another 100, and then another, etc. I would be surprised if I quit before 500 years.

>What was strange rains about?
Modern horror, I think. It was one of PCA's projects.

>>96060315
Oh so instead we got Spirit Conscript.
Honestly I think we are in the better timeline.

>>96059958
>So . . . Would we do a tutorial mode?
Not entirely sure what you're asking, but I don't think so, the idea is that it's disconnected from anything else about the world, and you're doing some kind of purely abstract mental exercise that will just strengthen your practical learning ability later.

>>96059261
>As much as I can before any real psychological damage happens, which I have some doubt about whether there would be any, for me at least.
So if the process itself also kept you 'sane,' would you ever actually leave?

>>96059138
Is it boredom as in psychologically damaging (solitary boredom)? Or just usual class boredom?
I would reject the former, but I guess I could handle a few years of the latter, a decade would be fine, maybe even a century.
They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill, can you imagine if you could do the same in a few hours of practice? That's invaluable, even for an immortal.

>>96060278
>Can someone translate this to heterosexual for me please
Charlotte (CHRL) is one of the four goddesses in Tankista's Outer Reincarnation cyoa. Noted for trying to impose rigid science on a fantasy setting, anon is comparing her to PhysicsFag.

Slaanesh is a Warhammer 40k god/goddess/hive mind dedicated to depraved sensory indulgence. Anon is comparing him/her/it/them to Tok.

>>96060379
>So if the process itself also kept you 'sane,' would you ever actually leave?
Probably not until I encounter a situation that that renders staying pointless, like hitting a plateau or reaching nigh omnipotent levels of power.

In the scenario described, neither one will ever happen; your potential rate of learning will just keep steadily and linearly increasing, but at no point in the process will this give you any actual power until you stop and actually enter the world.

Sit out on the side with 1-110 years of torturous therapy boredom in exchange for more points.
Of course I take it because it's a lot more points, but that's because I subconsciously know it's a game. If I actually had to do it I'm thinking no way...ok maybe if I really needed a few more points, but I wouldn't like it though!

Is the Princess of the East/ninja from something? For some reason, I think I've seen her before.

What is the best of the top six powers to drop all 6 points into ? I'm thinking Intuition.

>>96062217
Jackpot + intuition seems kind of broken given even an uncharitable interpretation thats a 75% chance to guess anything correctly. Stacking jackpot honestly seems busted given it goes up to 256* as likely to get a favourable outcome, that means that things like 1/100 chances are all but guarunteed, none of the apexes come even close to rivalling that, hell it could be literal magic since it fundamentally denies entropy i.e. a tire filling when pierced rather than deflating
